Im looking into getting a act clutch when I replace mine. They are not a sponser here so not to many people run them but I have had them in past cars and they are of great quality. Defently can handle what your looking for hp wise. A ls7 clutch is a popular choice for a lot of guys. That will handle your needs to.

This is probably more than you want to spend, but it has everything you need to do the job right including a Tick master cylinder.

if youre staying under 400lbs/ft torque, get a monster stage one. I have a stage 2 with stock master cylinder, and it drives great.

it starts at 450, but look at spending over 600 for the kit.

Monster hands down. Ive installed 1s, 2s, 4s, 5s, and the 11" race clutch. They make a great product.

I love my monster stage 2 and tick master cylinder. Installed both when my master cylinder took a dump. The pedal is a little stiffer but that is to be expected. Just a thought though... you say that 350-400 is where you want to end up at, but you might want a little extra room incase you get the itch for some more power.

I'd say a monster stg1 if your only gonna make 400. Got a stage 3 in mine and love it. I'm planning on making more power down the road so went with something that should last me a while. Check out the guys at Colorado speed that's where I got mine. They were running a special and I only payed like 7something. Look in the manual tranny forum on here. Thats where I found it.
